I broke up with my girlfriend because she’s left handed.

I admit, it wasn't right.


Reminds me of a girl I used to date.  She lost her leg in a car accident.  Her name was Eileen.

Later, she got a prosthetic and started going by her middle name, Peg.

The mudslides began much closer to the mountain peaks than I would have guessed:

At least 242 deaths from Helene thus far, and many more still missing.

At least 20 deaths from Milton so far.  (18 here, two in Mexico.)

I guess I shouldn't laugh, but those blackmail emails saying the extremely talented hacker has taken control of my computer's camera and microphone always make me chortle. That computer doesn't have a camera or a microphone.

But I know there are some confused people out there whose computers also don't have cameras who imagine that this "extremely talented hacker" can install a camera, anyway. Angled at their--ahem--private parts.

It would indeed take extreme talent to get a nonexistent camera to do that. :dizzy


It's always tempting to reply back and offer double what they are asking if they send proof they have the video.   :hehe

I did do that with a customer once who had returned an order unopened and demanded a full refund to their credit card immediately.  I responded and told them I'd pay them double if they would send a copy of their credit card statement or other proof of the charge.  I wonder if they frantically went searching through their credit card statements?  The item was free so they were never charged anything.

We went thru Irma huddled in a closet, then Helene & now Milton.  Three's enough.  First threat of next blow, we flee like rabbits.

As the count currently stands, ten are dead and three million are without power in Florida due to Hurricane Milton.  The roof of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg was ripped off. 

Luckily, the hurricane's organization disintegrated a bit just as it made landfall, so the storm was weaker than folks feared it would be.

Maybe it'll go down to a Cat 3 before it hits land. We can hope.

I'm thinking about the beautiful parterre of the Ringling house in Sarasota, which might flood in the predicted storm surge. The lovely art museum is a bit inland, but I don't remember the exact topography, and its wonderful garden with statuary probably will have a hard time in the expected winds. On the other hand, neither are lived-in homes, and those are what bear the brunt in these situations. They tell you to leave, but where can you go?
